him. AS the young man reached him, his

It is said that Canadian woman pro-
poses to organize society for the preven'
ton of kissing. 1t will never work.
Those women who don't like to be kissed
are generally never asked, and therefore
require no such society, and you might
as well try to dip the ocean dry With a
tailor's thimble as to endeavor to prevent
kissable young woman from enjoying
that delectable recreation. Boys, don't
you the scheme is impracticable and
wouldn't work worth cent?
Our good friend, Mr. s. g. Williams, an
energetic farmer of Brushy Creek Town

new variety of corn which he has been
experimenting with, and which he says

dinary corn, though the grains havn't q
particle Of hint about them. 1t is planted
and cultivated like ordinary corn, but the
yield is much greater, stalk very often
having as high as nine ears on 1t. Mr..
Williams has placed some of it on sale at
White s. Whites.

We invite the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of the Stages Coffee
Pot, which appears elsewhere. This is
undoubtedly the best coffee pot that has
ever been placed upon the market. A
number of testimonials are published
from reliable citizens of this State testify
ing to it's superiority over other coffee
pots. The principle upon which it is
made shows conclusiyely that it will do
all that is claimed for it. Nearly every
person who sees it buys one. Itsoon pays
for itself in the saving of coffee, and is
simple, durable and cheap. If you are
fond of a good cup of coffee, get one OF
these pots. Read the advertisement care.
fully, and then call at John E. Peoples d
Co.'s and see the pot.
Last Saturday afternoon, about 4.45
o'clock, most terrific storm passed over
Anderson. 1t came from the west, and
heralded its approach by tremendous
roar, heavy thunder and vivid lightning.
As it came nearer the wind became more
violent, and for few seconds 1t was al.
most as dark as night. The streets pre-
sented scene of wild confusion, as it was
the general opinion that cyclone was
going to swoop down upon us. Many
people left their houses, preferring to re-
main outside rather than run the risk of
being crushed to death. The storm came
up very suddenly, which intensified its
fury. 1t did not last but few minutes.
AS the clouds passed over light shower
Of hail fell, followed by almost a solid
sheet of water. The clouds evidently di-
vided before reaching here, or there might
have been considerable damage done. We
have heard of no damage being done in
the County, though the storm was pretty
severe in several sections.
The Westminster correspondent of the
Walhalla Courier, of last week, says:
;.Mrs. Nancy White, formerly of Ander-
son County, who has been living in West
minister but few weeks, died Sunday
evening at o'clock, from injuries result
Ing from fall which occurred early on
the Friday morning previous. On the
morning in question Mrs. White had gone
ont, as was her custom, into tho piazza
just before daylight to wash her face. The
morning being very dark and rainy, she
mistook her position in the piazza and
walked of at the end and fell to the
ground. The distance was not great, but
Mrs. White being quite fleshy and feeble
with age her injuries were found by DR..
Burt Mitchell, who was summoned to
her assistance, to be quite serious and
such as to leave but little hope of recovery.
Her right knee was badly bruised, and
the bones both above and below it were
found to be broken. Every effort that
medical skill or the attention of kind
friends could suggest, was faithfully used
to alleviate her sufferings, but all proved
unavailing, and after lingering until Sun
day evening, she died. The remains
were carried on Monday to Anderson
County to be inferred in the family burial
ground near her old home." Mrs. White
was the relict of the late Henry White,
and, until recently, resided in Fork
Township. She has many friends in this
County, who will read the above notice
with profound sorrow.
